If you’re unsure about your eligibility we are here to help you. Familiarize yourself with the IRS’ 4-part qualifying test and take our eligibility test to find out if your business qualifies.

REDUCE YOUR TAX LIABILITIES AND INVEST IN INNOVATION

The R&D tax credit is an excellent way of reducing tax liabilities and enables the chance to invest in research and development for all tax-paying firms, even the youngest and smallest of start-ups. If you’re working on ways to improve products or processes there is a good chance you are eligible for the credit. The R&D activities you undertake need to be of a technological nature. If so there are many business expenses within the R&D processes that you can use in your claim. These include the costs relating to prototypes, inventions and creating pilot products. In 2012, the info tech industry received $1.8 billion in R&D credits from the government, while the professional and tech services industry received $1.1 billion. Find out how you can get a portion of that number.
